Oh the only simple thing that comes to mind is a reversed OT connector, but that is power amp and it seems yours is OK.

Hi and thank you for the response, I didnt remove any wires, i looked at the board an didnt see anythi...

Picked up a used 6505 from a friend, sounded thin so i changed all the tubes. Apon firing it up the power light was flickering and the amp was doing what sounded like a helicopter in the distance if you can picture that.like pulsating. i shut it down and restarted it, it plays but sounds very thin, ...
